katz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I likey the way this sounds... I *know* it says "Miss" Autumn, but I'm hoping it leans a tad towards Uni..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It's meant to be more feminine but depending on how sweet it turns out to be it could be considered unisex. ETA: Beccah I moved this because it's not a PE, it's a catalog scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowflake Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Beautiful autumnal label. From the ingredients it looks like a unisex scent, provided it's not too sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well that's what I don't know; my idea was for more a "girly" autumn scent (I had a specific inspiration which I will note when I review this one) so I'm thinking it will be on the sweeter side because that was part of the concept.

BlueBear Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I would imagine that it's feminine smelling since it's called "Miss" Autumn! Fingers crossed it works for me. I love the combo of oak and smoke!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I really hope and pray this doesn't make me smell homeless. Patch woods and smoke? Please let it smell like autumn air and maple drenched leaves! Luna nice label you are STUNNING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 LOL, I wish! I did choose the image (out of a couple M had in her files) though, I thought it would nicely emphasize the "girly" aspect of the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Its GoRGE! Can't wait for Miss Autumn to arrive. How cool would it be to have Miss Seasons thing going on. Like for Winter.. Miss WInter,, Spring so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 This is not a halo scent. I don't do patch. But that said it is really pretty. If I didn't know how patch morphs and amps on me I would try and wear it. For those of you that like this kind of fragrance you will love it, very deep and well blended.

luna65 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah you really have to love that "Autumn ambience" thing to enjoy this scent, I agree. The idea originally came to me some time ago because of a line in the Type O Negative song "Black No. 1:" Her perfume smells like burning leaves ...and while I know there are more than a few like that, I was thinking about something similar but a bit more feminine. And this was exactly what I imagined: a Autumnal walk down a wooded path, with the scent of burning leaves somewhere nearby, and a thread of sweetness going through it all. So while a guy could wear this, it's sweeter than they might prefer, although that's not going to stop me from trying it on the Quince-beast. But what I like about it specifically is that it has more of a woods impression than a spice impression, which a lot of Autumn scents tend to have, and I prefer woods just because spice tends to amp on me so much. The patchouli lends a really nice depth to it without being too prominent. 'Tis lovely, dark (but not too dark) and deep, much like those woods which encompass the road not taken. I have this crazy idea to try and come up with a series of scents based on elements of songs Peter wrote, like there would be one called "Pyretta Blaze" and another would be "Goddess of the Violet Twilight" and another would be "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" and so on.

Calii Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I coud see this on a man,it's not sweet to me at all,course that could easily change as it ages ...the road less taken,very apt...different,kindamysterious even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I did not expect to ADORE this. I thought okay I am going to smell like an autumn effigy, like marijuana or like anything but this!!! A part of me went for this one third, because I really do love Autumn. First I tried 221B and Watson.. then I reached for this because I longed for a cool breeze and the smell of leaves falling, turning color, that warm cozy smell in the air.. and that is exactly what this is!!! It smells so amazing!!! It does not smell earthy or patchy on me, it smells so warm, and cozy! It smells like I am eating warm pancakes on my porch during a crisp and cool autumn evening. I took a nap smelling this I fell asleep smelling my wrist. I wonder if I can add cops to this??? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I wonder if I can add cops to this??? Anyone? I would think so, just because it is so deep, it could stand up to a cops add. For me, the patchouli comes across as more of that earthy impression, like being outside in the woods. The "pancakes" thing is the maple, though. I thought okay I am going to smell like an autumn effigy, like marijuana or like anything but this!!! No, that would be sage, dear, not patchouli.

BlueBear Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 This is deep and earthy, not a typical Bluebear scent, but I like it. At first, the spice was so strong, it smelled herbally on me. Then the wood and patchouli came out. It wasn't until late in the drydown that I started to get maple. It actually ended up quite sweet. That said, I think a man might be able to wear it if he doesn't mind a sweeter scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I got no earth on this which is fine with me! I amp maple to infinity and beyond so this is all maple autumn leaves!

tyvey Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) WET this was smooth, mapley, VERY VERY GROWN UP sophisticated...I clapped my hands and danced. As it dried I got more and more pine No smoke at any point. I will have to let this sit a minute and see what it does elsewhere in my cycle.... ETA: several hours later, I'm floating through blooming clouds of warm, sweet, spicy, woodsiness. Surprisingly very perfumey, in a good way. What a beautiful morpher. ETA: 12 plus hours later and I'm still in a halo of sweet sultry woods. I can't believe there was a long period, through drydown, in the piney phase (which I should've been clearer, I LIKED, just wasnt what I was expecting) that I thought to myself "this is as unisex as something can be and I still like it". At this point, it is not unisex on me at ALL. Edited September 26, 2012 by tyvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya27 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I wore this when I went for a walk..the leaves were coloring and falling off the trees.This smelled so perfect for a fall day!

LadyVictoria Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I wore this all weekend! I boosted mine with Coppers and ZEROOOOO smell!, or maybe the cops blends in with the leaves or maple, I don't know but I could smell nada! I looove this! I stayed indoors all weekend. I lit all my pumpkin scents and wore LMA with cops and felt so cozy and magickal All weekend long. I felt like I was in a cottage in the forest baking pies. I get no earth, just all maple crisp wonderful coziness! Perfect for fall! :pumpkin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) You know what's unique and I especially love about this: to my nose it's deeeeeply sophisticated but NOT in a classic/traditional or as its creator says "I am a Grown Up Lady" way. Not that it smells young either, just - ageless. I am away from home and SO glad I brought it in my little kit:) LadyV have you tried this both with and without cops? I know you said you get no cops stink but do you find it ALTERS the scent at all? Edited October 1, 2012 by tyvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Special D for ex- I have that boosted with cops as well and the cherry get a bit sour in the beginning but then it's okay- with this there is no significant change that I can detect. BOMB cover!

ElizabethOSP Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh GODS I need a full bottle of this! It's woodsy and rich and so very FALL ON THE MOUNTAIN. The part we're in right now. Where it's cool at night, and bouncing back and forth between really nice and fairly hot in the daytime. And the air has lost its monsoon humidity. It's getting dry, and the oaks are starting to turn some leaves golden and drop them. But...there are still plenty of lush green things growing near water sources. And there's a hint of smoke--just a hint!--because a few folks are so happy it's fall that they just HAVE to fire up their woodstoves. And I'm with tyvey--this does have a perfume...ness...to it. It gets sweeter in a dry, woodsy way in long drydown. And it LASTS. The strength of the scent gradually backs down, but then it just stays and stays. ***swoon!*** A perfect evocation of Rignt. NOW. Which is my favorite season. And the label is perfect. And luna's poem is more than perfect. I've gotta post it again here 'cause it gives me goosebumps.. Miss Autumn, she is not like other girls. She is the forest a-blaze with changing leaves. She is a clear full moon night the crackling roar of a bonfire. She is sweetness and toothsome treats smoke and spice and earthy delights. The warmth one seeks in the coming of the cold and the chilling mystery of its darkening ways. And...I AM going to try this with cops, too, ladies! Right now, in fact. O Yais. She *is*.

cinnamonmel Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I will say straight up that I would prefer this on a man. It's very teak-y on me but I tend to amp woods, the maple is there, a little smoke, a little leaf-note. Very Autumnal, I would just prefer smelling it on someone else.

Eggers Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 This is a surprise like for me. I'm not in love with it, but it's a pretty serious like. Turns out I really dig walnut in perfume. Who'da thunk it? I certainly didn't expect that. (It was a surprise when I tried Cheeky, and it's even more of a surprise now, with no cake to soften it). I think I expected the woods to come out more strongly, and they do at the very beginning, but they calm down a bit, and what I'm left with is a buttery, walnutty maple. I can see myself wearing it on a crisp fall day. It certainly evokes that bright, leaves-blazing fall feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
